F13.net is full of "players". Who'd have thought THAT ?

We could catalog the stunning number of stereotypes you not only spouted but also displayed in one post to explain it to you, but I don't really think you'd get it. edit: but I had fun though. And yes, I would get it actually.

I know I didn't think we even did MMOs any more.
What...?
Also Ghambit, every time you post I feel like I'm hearing a sleazy guy in a bar tell me his theories on women/work/play or telling me about his life stories. But you seem to be cool with coming across that way so carry on.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

I like my date story that ends with me waking up being nuzzled by a miniature horse better. Unfortunately, like many of my stories the punchline is better without the explanation. Of course, the one that involved a cattle prod, a pair of handcuffs, and my stealing a "Kiss The Cook" apron so I didn't get arrested for streaking is pretty hilarious all the way through.

IDK, the only part that disgusted me about Ghambit's post is that he didn't bang number two just for sport! Reading these stories are great entertainment, thanks gents.

Every time Ghambit posts about women I get the vibe he's a nerd high school senior talking about his Girlfriend in Canada that he totally didn't make up.

I totally read this as being nuzzled by someone who bets on miniature horses. Had to read it again before I saw it was 'better' and not 'bettor'.

I made it through one post on that dating site. Not even a little bit interesting. But that might be because I went on, I don't know, 100+ first dates in the last 3 years.
Is it safe to assume the only things you like are anything out of Japan and Magic Cards these days?

Glad someone was entertained as that was kind of the point, blatant stereotypes or not. (who woulda thunk sleazy generalizations in a "shallow internet dating thread." ) As for banging #2, it was just not worth the trouble. She knew where I lived (which was unfortunately only a few blocks away), had my phone number, email, etc. And something about her just seemed "off." And the reality is, I am indeed too dorky, shy, and morally above water to play the game that way - as sleazy as I sound. Hell, my past dating life doesnt hold a candle to most of the posters in here. It really isn't that extensive or "playerish" although I have some good stories. edit: TMI wall-of-text erasure ... more later perhaps. I've got some great dating stories from friends but that's their business.

I have had two of these types of dates back about 10 years ago. I tend to do blowback in these situations. As soon as it appears the date is taking a turn, I will start in on the socially awkward behaviors and really tank it. Take your shoes off, tuck the napkin into you neck collar, flip the chair around and sit straddling the back, or my favorite... every so oftenn flinch severely as if an unseen bug is flying around your ear. If the date is going to tank, might as well take things as far as they can go.
That's all well and good, but rattran didn't have to pay.

I'm 99.9% sure that's not what he was talking about. I still have no clue what he was referring to though.

But, she was a total fruitcake and dumbarse (much like most of the women in SoFla). I just cant be tasked with dealing with that. She turned out to be "poor white trash" and lived in a run-down trailer with like 10 cats, although she did profess to being good friends (or cousins maybe?) with Xtina Aguilera (whom we chatted with a bit on AoL); this was around the time "genii in a bottle" was just released.

I believe he's referring to your ...esoteric interests in pigeon dating sims and other weird Japanese/JRPG shit. And so forth.

The amazing thing about these rebuttals is that most of the bad behavior that was attributed to them in the original is attributed to the other person in the rebuttal. It's like the two people agree that some scummy thing was done but disagree on who did it.
Personally I'm tempted to believe the rebuttals because a lot of the originals sound like embellished pleas for attention.

Got back from the date on Sunday. Nice girl, not heavy, and actually dances in a company in Atlanta. Good family background, nice Christian girl without being obsessed with the church culture. Very amusing and sarcastic sense of humor. All in all, it was a very pleasant get-to-know-you dinner.
The funniest part of the date was finding out that her Dad actually played Eve. So, she doesn't mind the gamer dork factor! She's getting a second date call.

I misread that as prenatal.

Second date today, so we'll see!
Given I don't play EVE, I doubt this would be anything but a talking point.
